Golden age of America begins now, says Donald Trump at inauguration as 47th US president

 

Donald Trump has been sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, marking his return to the nation’s highest office for a second time in eight years.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Trump hailed the beginning of a transformative era for the country and declared, “The golden age of America begins right now. From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.”

He emphasised his unwavering commitment to prioritising the nation’s interests. “I will very simply put America First,” he stated, pledging to lead a “nation that is proud, prosperous and free.”

Trump said his government’s official policy would only recognise two genders, ending the current practice of providing a third gender option in some settings.

“I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life…

“As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female,” he said.

The President also took aim at his predecessor, Joe Biden, accusing his administration of representing a “radical and corrupt” establishment. “My recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal and all of these many betrayals that have taken place, and to give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy, and indeed their freedom,” he said.

Declaring the end of national decline, Trump proclaimed, “From this moment on, America’s decline is over.”

He assured the American people that the country’s challenges would be “annihilated” under his leadership, framing his presidency as a new chapter of strength and revival.
